Франклин си измисля псевдоним

Franklin the Turtle

by Paulette Bourgeois, Полет Буржоа

When Franklin realizes that his favorite athletes all have cool nicknames, he decides that he wants one, too. So he asks everyone to call him "Flash." His friends point out that nicknames are never self-chosen; you get one based on something you do. They decide that Franklin should be called "Pokey," since he moves slowly. This sets off a contest in which Franklin tries to disprove his friends -- but his true nature wins out. Franklin decides to wait for a nickname until he's earned one that really suits him.
